Time Passes

As I wander in that wonderworld of where does this piece take me next - I have a larger question and hope some of my colleagues might deposit some thoughts about.
Whenever I am making a new dance, about to embark on the new project, I begin simply with "What will the dance be about?". (Of course there are myraid more questions, but that is my simple beginning.) The trouble is that "about" seems to suggest narrative, though that is not my intention.
How about for you? When you are starting a new piece - how do you frame your entry? When you talk to people and they say what are you working on? And you say: "I'm starting a new dance, _________________________."
I'd like to collect some responses and make a web page on my web site. If you are interested.
